ABOUT US

The Y: We’re for Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility 3

CHILD CAREOur Child Care Programs offer opportunities for children to interact in an inclusive, nurturing environment. We focus on learning through the developmental areas of cognitive, social-emotional, language, and physical development using “play” as the focal point for all learning. Our goal is to create an environment that nurtures, encourages respect, promotes self-esteem and trust, and teaches conflict resolution. We hope that the experiences we offer will promote unique and positives outcomes for children and families.

Y-CARE PRESCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAMTime: 6:30am - 5:30pm (Full & Half Day options available)Ages: 3 - 5The Y’s Enrichment Program is an inclusive, child-centered program that has received accreditation through the National Association for the Education of Young Childcare (NAEYC). Using the Creative Curriculum as a framework, teachers design learning opportunities to support young children’s interests and learning. A typical day is structured with individual and group activities, as well as free and structured play time. Swim lessons, gymnastics classes, story telling, and music classes are incorporated into the weekly activities.

EDUCATION & LEADERSHIPFREEDOM TOUR 2016 Mid Coast Area Middle Schools (including RSU1, Brunswick, and SAD75)What is “Freedom Tour 2016?” It’s a constantly evolving educational journey for 8th grade middle school students designed as an integrated approach to teaching history and contributing effectively as citizens. The program culminates in a 7-day trip in late spring or early summer. Where do we go? New York City Neighborhoods — Ellis Island — Lower East Side Tenement Tour — Independence Park in Philadelphia — Amish Country — Lincoln, Washington, Roosevelt Presidential Memorials and Monuments — Vietnam, Korean, World War II and Iwo Jima War Memorials — United States Holocaust Memorial Museum — Smithsonian — Gettysburg National Park — Arlington National Cemetery — Pentagon Memorial — Rockefeller Center — Ground Zero — Apollo Theater.Why do we take a trip? More than a class trip and bigger than a history lesson, the program engages students in meaningful activities to build positive social competencies. As democratic ideals continue to take center-stage in international events, we find we have countless teachable moments and a heightened sense of pride in our U.S. history.Log onto www.bathymca.org and click on the Freedom Tour link to view the blogs from previous trips, and to find out more information about the program.
